Audience profile

Technical death metal is associated with screaming vocals, fast guitar and bass riffs, and machine like drums. So the people who would be associated with listening to this type of music must be as hardcore as the bands themselves. Traditionally, they have long hair, long enough to do a professional headbang, they wear band T-shirts, dark make-up or just nail varnish and they wear either cut up jeans or combats with trainers. They tend to be well built and they majority of the people who listen to this type of music would be men. However, when the occaional girl does listen to technical death metal, they wear band T-shirts, jeans and trainers. They do sometimes wear leather, corsets or boots and they do sometimes wear dark make-up or just nail varnish.

My main basis of my audience research is my friend Callum. This is his general profile:

Callum Crane
He is 17 years old and listens to bands such as Mudvayne, Dethklok, The Faceless, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, Sepultura... He tends to wear band shirts, loose trousers and jeans, trainers and sometimes he wears a trenchcoat and New Rocks. When he finishes college he wants to be a character profile designer for the gaming industry.
